Omar Mustafa 3-a Al-Ahly Sports Club commonly known as simply Al-Ahly, is an Egyptian sporting club.

Founded in April 1907, Al-Ahly was named in 2000 by the Confederation of African Football as the "African Club of the Century". Al-Ahly is the most successful football club in Africa, closely followed by their rivals Zamalek SC History Al-Ahly was founded in 1907 as a club where leaders of Cairo's students' unions could meet during the struggle against colonisation. On 25 February 1907, Amine Samy chose the name 'Ahly' for the newly founded club to fit with its purpose. It started out as an Egyptian Limited Liability Company with a capital of 5000 EGP. The club's first chairman was an English man named Mitchell Ince, who facilitated the foundation of the club and issued planning permissions for the land it owned. In the year 1922, electricity was connected to the club's headquarters for the first time to replace gasoline in a major project that cost 52 EGP at the time. Three years later, the club's congress decided to make membership exclusive to Egyptians, earning them the title of 'the people's club'. From these humble origins, Al Ahly have attracted a large number of followers all over Africa, and claim to have over 50 million supporters, making them one of the most popular clubs in the world. The club also has a reputation for being one of the most organised and sophisticated in the Middle East, adopting a high moral stance in its business dealings. For this reason it is known as 'the club of values' - a phrase initially coined by the club's all-time idol and former president Saleh Selim.

Al-Ahly began to dominate the Egyptian game in the 1940s. In the 1980s the club became successful on a continental level, winning the African Cup of Champions Clubs in 1982 and 1987. They triumphed again in the renamed competition in 2001, 2005, 2006 and 2008[3] under the coaching of the Portuguese Manuel Jos making them the most crowned team in Africa, with six Champions League titles, four CupWinners' Cups, four Super Cups and one Afro-Asian Club Championship. Al Ahly was the first club to reach the FIFA Club World Cup twice following two consecutive appearances in 2005 and 2006 winning the Bronze Medal in the latter, becoming the first African club to win a medal in the competition. After qualifying for the 2008 edition, Al Ahly became the team with the most appearances in the FIFA Club World Cup, having qualified for 3 times out of 6 competitions held. Al Ahly supporters were targeted in a post-match riot at Port Said Stadium in February 2012 which resulted in numerous deaths Honors Worldwide / Intercontinental
